Dear ELOG users,

the ELOG discussion forum at PSI contains in meantime many old accounts with non-functional email addresses. Since this causes some overhead, it has been decided to clean up the current account database. In order to keep your account alive, please log in at the above forum before Friday, Sept. 30th, 2011.  If you fail to log in until that date, your account will be automatically deleted. Note that it will be always possible to re-create your account afterwards by simply clicking on "Register as new user", but before that you won't get automatic email notifications any more once your account has be deleted.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the database contains currently too many wrong email addresses causing some flooding of our mail systems.

Best regards,

     Stefan Ritt

Hi,

I'm trying to expand the Subject column, when viewing in summary mode, and couldn't find any documentation for it.  Is this possible and if so, how would I do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Is there a command line in the configuration files to show all of sub logs 
on the main page of elog instead of clicking on "Expand All" on the top of 
ELOG ?

Thanks

Hello All,

I am wondering if it is possible to configure ELOG to expand the TEXT column in the SUMMARY view? As it stands I get about 48 characters displayed per line in the in the TEXT column, with 3 lines getting displayed per ENTRY (approximately 144 characters per ENTRY). So what I'd like to do is see if it is possible to EXPAND the TEXT column in the SUMMARY view to allow say.... 100 characters per line, or say 275 characters per ENTRY when viewing the SUMMARY view?

Is this possible? If so, how does one go about doing this... I tried to search the site thoroughly before posting my question, I just didn't see it mentioned anywhere... Help please =)

Thanks!

 Hi,

My email configuration is a little complicated as all emails must be relayed to a central server with TLS authentication. 

So far I've been unable to get the ELOG to work with email, after numerous attempts .  I have got exim4 working on this machine but I don't understand how the elog sends emails well enough, to configure it to recognise and use exim4.  Setting localhost/ my domain/ IP  (and variations) under 'smtp host' doesn't work. (cannot connect to server)

The most interesting error I have been able to get is:

"AUTH command used when not advertised"

or

"Unrecognized authentication type"

Any advice?

Greetings!

We've been successfully running nearly a dozen separate logbooks on independent laptops -- all of them are running elogd as a Windows service. This works well, since I've also set up auto recovery options in the event that the service inadvertently stops.

Now, I have a need to place the value of an attribute of the latest log entry into a basic text file.  Of course, this works just fine if I have launched elogd -x as a normal executable, using Execute new = echo $Status > Last_status.log in my CFG file.  However, I would like to be able to do this using the Windows service which is running in the background. 

Is there another way to write the value of an attribute into a separate file?  If not, do I have to have a special build of ELOG in order to be able to enable the Windows service to execute shell commands?  For the record, these logbooks are running on secure laptops that are isolated onto their own network, and the user is unable to edit the CFG file.

In case you're wondering about the reason for the separate text file -- I've written a separate program which illuminates one of 4 different color signal lamps (mounted on a test station), based on the latest "Status" of the test station. (Running, Idle, Broken, Other).

I appreciate any guidance here -- this is a "big deal" here, as one glance over the floor gives us an idea of what's running (or not).

Thanks!
Frank
